Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

7.5 Building the Next Generation of Construction with Dr. Lingguang Song & Wayne Goff
Q: Why make the internship mandatory for CM students?
To ensure students gain hands-on experience, develop professional communication, and transition smoothly into full-time roles, with many interns converting to jobs before graduation and a strong pipeline for employers.
6.6 Employee Ownership at HGC with President Brian McManus
Q: How has the ESOP changed daily behavior among employees?
People are encouraged to own problems and own solutions, approach work as if the company is their own, and focus on sustainable, long-term outcomes rather than short-term gains.
6.6 Employee Ownership at HGC with President Brian McManus
Q: What sparked the idea to convert to an ESOP?
It was driven by a desire to preserve our culture, reward the people who built it, and ensure long-term succession rather than taking the easy route of selling.
6.4 Behind the Build: Stories From the Lens with Seth Fargher
Q: How do you balance external marketing with internal culture in a way that feels authentic?
I believe both are essential; external storytelling should reflect internal culture, and leaders who model transparency and care about their people create a cohesive narrative that resonates with clients and recruits alike.
6.4 Behind the Build: Stories From the Lens with Seth Fargher
Q: What was your first construction-related project and how did it shape your approach to video and marketing?
My first job with Piedmont Pipe Utility involved shooting content on-site during a safety briefing in freezing weather; that experience opened my eyes to the marketing potential in construction storytelling and set the direction for my future work.
